COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA – A Nebraska woman was injured Thursday after she jumped from a bridge in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Council Bluffs police and fire were dispatched to the 4100 block of the Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Missouri River to investigate an injured person possibly being on the bridge ledge. Upon arrival, officers determined that a 32-year-old female from Omaha, Nebraska had exited a vehicle on the bridge and then jumped off the bridge railing. The woman fell about 10 to 12 feet to the catwalk on the south side of the bridge.
Emergency responders were able to retrieve the woman from the catwalk and tend to her injuries. She sustained a compound fracture to her right ankle and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Her name was not released.
